Must-Try Vegan Street Food In Vietnam

Southeast Asia has some of the best destinations for vegan travelers. Whether you’re a budget-backpacker who’s gone hotel-hopping, or on a luxury vacation with a vegan culinary cruise, there’s plenty of vegan options available to you.

But like anywhere else in the world, some places are more vegan-friendly than others — like the beautiful country of Vietnam. A nation rich in culture and tradition, Vietnam has a lot of vegan options as well, thanks to their love of all things rice-related. You can even enjoy a day of strolling around town and snacking on vegan-friendly street food if you’d like.

What are some popular Vietnamese treats that you should try?

Banh Cuon means “steamed rice rolls”, and is similar to a crepe. It is usually served with mushrooms, fried shallots, and onions. Do tell the vendor that you don’t want any fish sauce, egg, or meat bits included.

This is a colorful sticky rice dish with a variety of toppings to choose from. Since the toppings you want is entirely up to you, it’s easy to opt for a completely vegan version. You can take your pick from options like shredded coconuts, roasted nuts, shallots, onions, beans, mushrooms and more.

Vietnam’s bread is unlike anything you’ve had before. Made of rice and wheat flour, it is light and crispy on the outside while still being able to absorb juices on the inside, making it perfect for sandwiches. The Vietnamese love to add anything they feel like putting in, and it will still taste heavenly.

If you want a vegan-friendly version of Vietnam’s favorite sandwich, just ask for “banh mi chay”. Vendors will understand that you want your order to only have veggies.

Vietnamese cuisine has so much more amazing plant-based dishes to offer. Finding vegan variations of meals isn’t a challenge at all either.

If you’re going to a vegan river cruise to the Mekong in Vietnam, try out the different versions in each town you pass through and have an unforgettable food adventure!
